Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Booka Shade's song "Contact" describe a longing for connection and love that goes beyond the physical limitations of Earth. The opening line, "Une météorite m'a transpercé le cœur," which translates to "A meteorite pierced my heart" in English, suggests a sudden and intense emotional impact. The next line goes on to acknowledge the medical resources available to us on Earth, but the singer dismisses them in favor of a more cosmic solution: "Contact."


The repeated refrain of "Contact" can be interpreted as a call for communication or connection with someone or something beyond our current understanding. The desire for this connection is so strong that the singer is willing to undergo a transfusion of mercury to heal a wound caused by the impact of the meteorite.


Later in the song, the singer speaks of being "suited up" in a spacesuit and covered in "sidereal dust," suggesting that they have traveled through space to reach their destination. The final line of the song, "Comprenez-moi il me faut à tout prix / Rejoindre mon amour dans la galaxie," which translates to "Understand that I must at all costs / Join my love in the galaxy," reinforces the idea that the singer's greatest desire is a connection that transcends physical boundaries.


Overall, the lyrics of "Contact" evoke a sense of yearning for a deeper connection and suggest that this connection may be found outside of conventional experiences.
